Sustainable Energy Transitions: Socio-Ecological Dimensions of Decarbonization by Dustin Mulvaney
English | PDF | 2020 | 254 Pages | ISBN : 3030489116 | 9.3 MB
Systems that produce, deliver, and consume energy all around us are under- going a transition. This is a textbook that I hope reaches people interested in learning about the socio-ecological dimensions of energy system transi- tions from multiple disciplinary perspectives, including ideas and concepts from engineering, economics, and life-cycle assessment to sociology, polit- ical science, anthropology, policy studies, the humanities, arts, and some interdisciplinary thinkers that defy categories. One prominent voice in cur- rent debates about energy transitions are argue to act on decarbonizing energy systems to mitigate climate impacts from carbon pollution from energy supplies. But other socio-ecological systems will be transformed and may benefit from shifts in energy use and production patterns.
In 2020, 80% of global energy is still supplied from fossil fuels. Many places have taken great strides toward decarbonizing some aspects of life in 2020, but there are many miles to go to make a sustainable future.
The adjective "socio-ecological" refers to the set of human and non- human systems interweaving the biophysical world and its ecologies with the metabolism of human civilization. Socio-ecological systems tied to our energy use are complex and often across great geographical distances, so the book aims to draw case studies from around the world to bring into perspective the various ways that human ingenuity is working to provide renewable and clean energy, and tackling its side effects.
The multiple disciplines presented in this textbook aim to build bridges across the social and natural sciences and humanities to introduce readers to the development of energy and efforts and prospects of an energy tran- sition. I designed this book with students with a sustainable energy focus in mind, borrowing from our concentrations in energy in Environmental Studies at SJSU.I have integrated case studies, figures and tables, exercise problem sets, pictures and diagrams of different energy systems, and links to further resources for further exploration of energy questions. In my own courses, I aim to use this book as the bedrock for a project-oriented course, with lots of class discussions and group projects. But it can be read and taught page by page at whatever pace. The book is also written in a way that can be structured around slides and conventional lectures. The lecture slides that accompany these chapters are available on the web.
